An assistance device includes at least two flexible tubular members and a torso support configured to be attached to a torso of the person. Each tubular member is made of fiber reinforced plastic and has a base or upper end attached at least indirectly to a room. Leading or lower ends of the tubular members are connected to the torso support on opposing left and right sides thereof. The tubular members have a flexibility that enables them to bend to follow the person and exert a force restoring the person to an original upright sitting or standing posture.

[Problem] To provide an inexpensive and accessible assistance device that enables assistance and support for elderly people and handicapped persons while utilizing the remaining abilities of the persons, achieving so-called self assistance. [Solution] An assistance device 1 is a device for supporting the body of an assisted person, wherein pipes 10 made of a fiber-reinforced plastic have proximal ends 11 attached at an upper position in a room, and the distal ends of the pipes 10 are connected to a body supporter 30 attached to the body of the assisted person. The fiber-reinforced plastic for forming the pipes 10 may be, for example, a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP).

The problem addressed by the present invention is to provide a fishing hook with a guard such that the guard can be attached to the fishing hook extremely simply and in a short time and the original initial shape from manufacturing can always be maintained during use and even during transport and sales. The present invention is a fishing hook 50 with a guard that is formed by: a fishing hook 30; a guard 10 formed by bending wire material into a V shape; and a base 20 affixed to a shaft 30b of the fishing hook 30 and having a guard attachment hole 24 formed therein for holding the guard 10 such that the guard 10 is positioned in front of a tip point 30a when an insertion end 10a, which is the bent end, is inserted into the hole. The guard 10 is formed from a superelastic alloy. The guard attachment hole 24 is formed so as to gradually narrow going deeper from an opening 24a, and the bend angle θ of the insertion end 10a of the guard 10 is formed so as to be greater than the opening angle α of the guard attachment hole 24.

Provided is a high performance split ring for lures capable of ensuring high strength while being small and is further capable of preventing occurrences of unnatural vibration or abnormal noise in the water by avoiding two points of contact with the hook during use. A ring-shaped split ring for lures (10) for which a metal wire (11) is wound twice spirally so as to overlap mutually is characterized in that the cross section that is perpendicular to the winding direction of the metal wire (11) is a simple circular shape. The present invention is a split ring for lures (10) for which an improvement is made not on the planar shape but the cross section shape thereof.

Provided is a guard for a fishing hook such that not only can breaking of a guard member be prevented, but also adjustment of the orientation of this guard member is easy and replacement of the guard member is also easy. A guard (10) for a fishing hook is constituted of a flexible guard member (14) and a base (16) formed of an elastic material and having a guard member holding part (20) with a shaft through hole (18), through which a shaft part (12b) of a fishing hook (12) passes and which is smaller in diameter than the shaft part (12b), and holding one end part (14a) of the guard member (14) such that the other end part (14b) of the guard member (14) is oriented toward a tip part (12a) of the fishing hook (12).

Provided is a worm whereby fish catch can be improved. A worm (10) formed of a soft material, to be used with a specific hook (16) mounted thereon, wherein the specific gravity thereof is set such that the overall specific gravity in a state with the hook (16) mounted thereon is equivalent to the specific gravity of water in the waters inhabited by a fish species of interest. This makes it possible to steady a hook-bearing worm (11) in the water, to facilitate unencumbered entry into the mouth of a fish, and to improve the fish catch.

Provided are a low cost fishhook which enables a bait to be attached to the fishhook until the bait reaches the shank end-side tip of the fishhook, and a method for manufacturing the fishhook. The upper part of the shank (2) of a fishhook (1) is hit to form a flat surface (3), and two holes (4) penetrating through the flat surface (3) are formed at locations separated from each other in the top-bottom direction. A part of the shank (2) is cut transversely across the upper hole (4a) of the two holes, and as a result, the hole (4b) and two upward protrusions (7) are formed at the upper part of the shank (2), the hole (4b) enabling a fish line (5) to be passed therethrough and fastened thereto, the two protrusions enabling a bait to be engaged therewith and being capable of preventing the fastened fish line from being displaced from the upper part of the shank. The entire fishhook (1) or a part thereof including the edge of the hole (4b) and the end of the cut shank (2) is immersed in a chemical solution to remove a burr.
